two days in a row!

yeah, i know, unprecedented for a really long time, me writing on  here two days in a row. kevin’s sailboat excitement continues. he said he woke up extra early this morning cause he was so excited about the boat.  he couldn’t start working on it cause it...

boat!

we hurried over to the lake christian camp place to buy the boat.  i told mom that she MUST NOT USE THE F WORD around the nice christian fella selling us the boat, and if she did, we’d make her pay the extra cost he’d inevitably charge us! here’s one...

well..a sailboat.

we are about to be the proud owners of a sailboat. yep. because one boat just isn’t enough. kevin has been talking about a sailboat all summer, and today he had lunch with his friend wayne, and on the way there he saw a sailboat for sale, and he looked at it and...

wow.

i think i’ve mentioned that my friend erica is in tanzania for a month.  she is staying with some nuns in a convent there, and i was happy and relieved to hear that she had arrived there safely. she’s been there over a week now, and i’d gotten a...

the hat!

here’s the fabulous hat i get to wear in gypsy: i am very, very excited about it!  plus the costume.  plus i get to wear a big wig and my big heels so i’m pretty sure i’ll be over six feet tall! it’s nice to have something happy and fun to...
